Overview
Velayat-e Faqih, upon which the Islamic Republic of Iran was founded following the Revolution of 1979, is rooted in Shia Islam and justifies the rule of the clergy over the state with all key decisions subject to approval by the Val-e Faqih or the Guardian Islamic Jurist in the person of the Supreme Leader, currently Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This research reveals how the original concept of Velayat-e Faqih, intended only to apply to the protection of a small, vulnerable section of the population such as widows, orphans and the disabled, was hijacked by Ayatolloh Ruholla Khomeini and twisted into a form that would effectively vest absolute power in a Supreme Leader, allowing him to impose Sharia(divine) law and a medieval regime that deprived its people of human rights and brutally suppressed any form of dissent.
The analysis explains how it was, following the downfall of an equally brutal dictator, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, that such a system was presented to the world as having been approved by the people following two highly flawed referenda effectively removing from them any genuine choice at all.
An insight is given showing how other government bodies such as the Guardian Council, are completely under the control of the Supreme Leader who has the final and over-ruling say on the selection of members and on all decisions.
Ruholla Khomeini’s intention was not only to apply this fundamentalist ideology to Iran but also to export it across the whole Islamic world. That remains the case today with Ayatollah Khamenei in power.
